Imatch Help

ddivinia · Jun 8, 2005

I got my new 4720 today and I notice used some bushings and clips for the imatch to lock on. I look on the web and in the manualk for the MX6 - it shows a different setup.

Any advice on what I should use on my implements with imtach?

There is a bushing kit that comes with (at least supposed to) the iMatch. That kit you will need. You will also need the bushings for each attachment you fix up to mate with the iMatch.

A search on iMatch in previous posts should help also.

A pic of what you have will help explain what you don't have. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Attached is a pic of the ballast box showing the bushing on one side.

OK - they did it on the cheap. They put a bushing and then a snag ring (the ones that you would usually use instead of the imatch).

I will have go back to the dealer and ask why they did not use the proper part.

Thanks,

I have the Speeco quick hitch. Similarly to the I-match it came with one set of bushings like the previous picture. To by additional bushings like those were $27 at TSC. So I have went the snap ring route on most of my implements. (Maybe $10) Does anyone see a problem with this? So far they have worked fine. Jason

Sometimes it can be hard to hook up - I have knocked the pins out sometimes. I am going to change all mine over to the proper bushing setup. The dealer will be getting a call tomorrow.

Thanks,

I paid under $13 for the Cat I-Cat III bushing set at TSC, and they are identical to the Deere ones (Deere has additional parts though).
I read in the literature on the 3x20 series under ATTACHMENTS and iMATCH QUICK ATTACH (page C20-405-7) that the iMatch comes with one set of bushings, and additional sets can be ordered Kit # LVU12858.
I ended up buying mine as well, so I think the dealers and salesmen are missing something here.
